GLOBAL ISSUES FOR STUDENTS: HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights are considered by many to be the foundation of freedom, justice and peace. However, there is little international agreement on exactly what human rights are and even less on how to enforce them. This show explores the origin of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and relates that despite this historic agreement, governments around the world not only discriminate against and often torture and imprison people without trial, but also do not respect their basic social and economic rights. Students will learn that while individual nations are ultimately responsible for protecting human rights, the United Nations and other organizations made up of ordinary individuals also play a strong role.

    UN: HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION - HUMAN WRONGS COMMISSION?

    While the Human Rights Commission's role is to promote human rights, this documentary shows that the UN's HRC has become so politicized that its effectiveness has been lost. The governing body of the HRC includes well-known human rights' violators, such as China, Libya, Syria and Sudan, and with countries like China routinely using its political and economic clout to manipulate voting and deflect criticism, the HRC's doing the opposite for which it was established. Here we hear from the former HR Commissioner, Mary Robinson, who speaks candidly of her deep frustration with the world body; also from London-based lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, who feels the UN should shut the HRC down.

    Review
  • "Highly Recommended! Anyone amazed and astounded by the recent actions of the United Nations and its Security Council would do well to view this program. The U.N. as a whole is charged with being the most entrenched and pampered work force in the world. That alone would be indictment enough. The HRC is accused of using language that has no meaning and of incurring process over action. Ireland's Mary Robinson was a victims' advocate as UN Human Rights Commissioner, but she announced her retirement after years of charging the windmill." -EMR Online
